Let Me Leave

[Verse 1]

Wide awake in clothes I haven't changed

For days and days as the sun creeps through the window on my face

Just let it go

You say I'm like a ghost

My skin is white as paper as I haunt the halls of my home, oh

[Chorus]

I scream like it would stop the ache

Your colors start to show (Show)

I know what I have to do, but it kills me

[Verse 2]

Rewriting all the songs

I'd change your name, but I know you'll still take everything to heart

Just let it go

I wonder if we'll die with hope

Or if we'll be counting the sins we carry deeply as we go

[Bridge]

I just wanted you to have a better life (I just wanted you to have a better life)

Not always shying away from your thoughts on the inside

I, I could set you free

I put you on a shelf knowing that I'd be

Too far to reach you from down in Hell

The sun slumps back as I burn your dreams

To the best of my ability, so just let me leave

[Chorus]

I scream like it would stop the ache

Your colors start to show (Show)

I know what I have to do, but it kills me

Sleep; if anything, I'll dream

It's only then I'll have you

I know what I have to do, but it kills me
